What is a US ESTA?

The ESTA permits qualifying nationalities to enter the US for tourism or business. Any traveler that’s eligible for the ESTA can enter the US by air or sea. As Australian citizens are under an American visa-waiver program, they easily qualify for the ESTA.

You can apply for your US ESTA with us or directly with the US Customs and Border Protection.

What are the requirements to apply for the US ESTA?

Before applying, you need to be sure you have the following ready:

Passport - you must have a valid electronic passport with a digital chip that contains your biometric info. The passport needs to be valid for another 6 months from the date of arrival in the USA. In the case of minors applying for ESTA, it is still required to provide the passport information of the minor, not the parent.
Email address -- the ESTA arrives via email.
Payment method -- The payment has to be made during the online application procedure. We accept debit, credit cards, or PayPal.
Traveler's home address and phone number.
Traveler's emergency point of contact phone and email.
You do not need to have made an itinerary yet to apply for the ESTA. An arrival date has to be filled in, but it is no problem if you decide to arrive later or on another day.
Do you have a job? If so, you must fill in the name and address details of your employer when applying for your ESTA.
